See the records leap off the pages of your Guinness World Records 2014 book in full 3D!

Readers of this year's GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS 2014 edition can access a new dimension of record-breaking with this FREE "augmented reality" (AR) app available on Google Play. All you need to do is to download the mobile or tablet app and scan the pages of the book to see the records come alive.

What you'll see:

• Inside, look for the SEE IT 3D alerts – there are 12 to find, from videos and virtual reality features to full interactive 3D animations

• Meet the world's shortest woman and have your photo taken with her ACTUAL SIZE!

• Take control of the largest ever carnivorous dinosaur and walk it around the pages of your book.

• Experience the view from the top of Mount Everest in virtual reality – you won't need to leave the comfort of your armchair!

• Enter the photo booth and see what you and your friends would look like if you had the world's longest tongue or longest beard!

• Watch videos clips of the most exciting records (video will be downloaded within the app on request).

How it works:

To activate the 3D animations, look out for the SEE IT 3D logo in the pages of the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS 2014 book. When you see the logo, launch the app, point your device's camera at the book page and watch as the records comes to life.

This FREE augmented reality app is available to anyone with a compatible Android device with a camera.
